Assignment 9

1.
a) = the true average braking distance at 40 mph
Hypothesis:
Null Hypothesis:

H 0 : =120

Alternative hypothesis:

H < 120

b) R2 is appropriate

c)

=P( Z

115.20120
)
10
36

= P(Z<= -2.88) = 0.002

d)

( 115 )=P ( x >115.2 , =115 )=P ( z> 0.12 )=0.452

e)

=P ( z 2.33 )=0.01

2. Hypothesis: = average lifetime

H 0 : =750

Null Hypothesis:

Alternative Hypothesis:

H =<750

significance level = 0.05

Z=-2.14 but

Z =1.645
2

Therefore, it is less than -1.645. Therefore, Null Hypothesis will be rejected.

3.
a) = desired percentage of SiO2 in a certain type of aluminous cement.
Hypothesis:

H 0 : =5.5
H !=5.5

Null hypothesis:

is not mentioned the problemfor part a , therefore assuming it part b as 0.01

( /2 =0.005
Null hypothesis will be rejected if z<-2.58 or z>2.58 (Rejection region)
z= (5.25- 5.5)/ (0.3/

16

) = -3.33

which is lower than -2.58

Therefore, Null Hypothesis will be rejected

b) Probability of detecting this departure from H0 = 1

( 5.6 )=1 ( 1.25 ) +(3.91)

= 0.105

4. x = actual proportion of type A donations

Hypothesis:
Null Hypothesis:

H 0 : x=0.4

Alternative Hypothesis:

H !=0.4

significance level = 0.01

Rejection Region: z > 2.58 or z < -2.58 (H0)

0.54660.4
z=

( 0.4)(0.6)
150

0.1466
=3.66
0.04

3.66> 2.58
Therefore, H0 will be rejected

5.

=true average percentage of organic matter such soil

Hypothesis:

t=

Nullhypothesis =H 0 : =3 Alternative Hypothesis :

H !=3

2.4813
=1.759
0.295

P value = 2* P(t>1.759) = 0.82

Therefore, H0 will be rejected because p value is less than significance level (0.10)

6.

= average cut-on voltage

Hypothesis:
Null Hypothesis: = 0.6
Alternative hypothesis: !=0.6
P value = P(t> 1.9527887) = 0.0711
P value is greater than significance level =.01
Therefore, Null Hypothesis will be accepted.
